Not sure if if this should go here as its not really a 3d wip.
ive started to do a battle scene for galactica, i know everyone does them....
Just had a quick go at setting up a shot. I did a lot of trek battle scenes while i was at college. not done one for years now so this is my first go with my real animation skills haha..
I'm going to be doing internal shots in cic and in the vipers. that's the real reason im doing this, I've made a mock up cic and i'll be using a rig that i use to do the 11 second club monthly animations.
Just a bit of fun for me. let me know what you think. not much to comment on so far.
Ive used wjaspers Galactica and Coxxons low reg ships.. I hope that's OK for crediting.

maybe the basestar could use some slight rotation and movement after jumping in.
you plan to do a basestars invasion or just the rebel cylons one ? (in that case, it needs to be half destroyed)
L2k no its not the rebel cylons, tho i have copied how it jumps into the middle of the fleet.
Like Armondikov said i thought it would make a good oh frak moment..
2 more baseships are going to jump in further out, as if the baseship miss calculated its jump.
I quick shot i did yesterday, i think this is going to be the opener.
I've also done a quick test for the vipers launching. but I'm not sure about it yet. needs tweaking. the judder at the start is youtbe not me haha...

the need to really be rushing to the basestar and not just flying by.
maybe you can make them shake.
its well known that ships going faster than they are made for always shake like they are going to fall apart and explode.

Mate an edit on the viper anim, i made them a lot faster, which i think looks better. Not sure about having them shake tho...
but thanks for the input L2K
Had a break from modeling and worked on this a little more.. im just searching my dvds for raptor chatter for the beginning. The characters look a little thunderbirds at the minute, but there still at block stage.
Have i missed this site or what...........
So are you going to be fully detailing the CIC interior? I'd love to see how the characters turn out.
I'm going to resist the temptation to upload every shot it i do... until Ive got something that looks decent.. I'm working on some dog fights at the minute.
One question...why does the Raptor randomly fly out then turn around?
Endeavour - The raptor is suppost to be guiding a ship to galactica to refuel or somthing like that. Im sure ive seen an episode where boomer guides a ship in to resupply with water..... in episode water funny enough... I've not gotten around to getting the audio for it yet. Hopefully when i do it will be more obvious.
Thanks for the input
Needs a little more time spent on it, but looks good so far..

I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw the Tigh character and his one eye. The animation, sets, and audio are just spot on perfect. Kudos to you, sir!
Wow, that progressive explosion of the liner is incredible!
with the explosion noise.. anyway..
But cheers keith, hopefully it'll look a lot better rendered with the explosion particles instead of the balls..
and thanks prisoner... i was hoping people would laugh at that.. seems to be working.

Poor Pyxis, now destroyed with sound!. I wonder why we all love to destroy Passenger Liners:devil:.
Keep it up, it is clear that you are into making a very cool full battle scene:thumb:.
